The velocity v of blood that flows in a blood vessel with radius R and length l at a distance r from the central axis is
where P is the pressure difference between the ends of the vessel and η is the viscosity of the blood (see Example 2.7.7). Find the average velocity (with respect to r) over the interval 0 „ r „ R. Compare the average velocity with the maximum velocity.
